I’ve owned way too many archtops over the years. I’ve enjoyed them all (or most of them, anyway), but they all ended up going to other homes. I have two that I will never sell, because they both belonged to my grandfather. The first is a 90’s Epiphone Emperor Joe Pass. It’s a nice guitar, and I enjoy playing it. This is the one that I’ve really bonded with though. It’s a 1959 Epiphone Century. It was made in the Gibson Kalamazoo plant and is very similar to a ES-125T, but with 25.5” scale. I love it, and it sounds exactly how I think an electric laminate archtop should.
This amp is long gone, but the guitar will never go!
